I've got my first diary as my 9th birthday present, at that time I only know it used for recap my activities on whole day into 1 page, only 1 page. It's make a little bit frustated, because I have many story that I wanted to write, even sometimes I confused which part in my whole day really need to write. For make my diary so me (hehe) I attached Hello Kitty sticker and signature, also writed biography of my family tree member. I start that kind of my (un) routine activities after studied in the night and decided it as a hobby.
Every diary has a secret, I dont like and afraid if people (anyone) read my diary, because it's privated stuff and I worried so much I make people uncomfortable if they know i writed about theirself or people that they know from my perception. So, for make it blurred I used to write by their initial name (actually more clearly) or nickname and some code which understand by myself. off course, I feel so cool hehe
When I enter boarding school in Garut, I brought my old diary for ensure no one read it hehe. My journey has began since I stay at dormitory, many things happened and.
Fortunately, I found some of my new friend had a similiar habit. We spent the next day writing diary together before sleep and remind if one of us skip 1 day without writing. It's a big deal for me for skipped 1 day, because I felt guilty and need to pay.
Writing diary before sleep is the popular activities in my dormitory, it's kind a common things if we're grouped, sat in front of our cupboard, writing on knockdown table, or writing in the bed until fall assleep. For a moment it seen as grouping study, but actually busy discuss activities and details of that day for make a similar and linked story for written.
We're so productive writing diary more than writing our daily task hehe...
I often stole the time during waiting teacher changing, free time while the teacher didnt show yet or during the class which I think not really important hehe
I like to spend my money for bought diary, notebook, stationary etc. That's why I have a lot of stationary stuff. For supporting my habit, I bought color pen, pencil color and another coloring things which used for writing and decorating my dairy.
Beside writing in diary, I like to writing in back of my book, most of them are full of song lyric and my feelings hehe... Sometimes I writing on my desk (sstttt...), my bed (sstttt... ), my class wall (sstttt...), my examination paper (ssttt...) wherever and whenever
On High School, my Sociology teacher given the most adorable task to our class and it's the collest things that I really wanna do with all my heart. The task is simple : Writing journal of our life, the content are free depend on us, but at least it must have our biography, hobby and any interest thing of our self.
So, I started my official journal refers on that task. Choosing journal book is really important, because it would represent myself. I added picture (my family, myself and my friend), behind the reason of my name, my dream, my future, my favorite things (favorite song, favorite book, favorite movie etc). Also, unimportant story of myself.
I thought it would be an easy task now, I mean now condition. When we've got that task, we dont have PC or laptop, what we have are Computer Laboratory which rarely used (once or twice in a week and we must be queue at least 2 nights before) with terrific internet connection. We havent much reference for writing a journal, but we crazy about it. We spend the night and holiday by cutting our magazine and poster, searching photos in our family album, remind our memory and trying to make a good story of ourself, decorate our page in maximum skill haha
One of my friend decided for using tape recorder than writing her journal. She feel frustated because she didnt like writing, but more intresting with talking, too much talking. Beside that, the rule never mention about the media we should use for making a journal. We dont envy with her, whom explain herself by tape recorder while we're busy attach picture to journal and spending time trying so hard make a good sentences. We're different and we accept it.
We used our highest skill until maximum level because we want to present our best side of ourself in this task, in this journal. We dont care the result. We care the process behind and enjoyed it. From this task, I learned everybody is different and want to show the different of theirself in differet way. I admitted, I'm very thankfull by this task because finally I know myself and accept everything in me. Also, Thank you for Mr. QQ (Sociology teacher) for this chance, you make our day so awesome.
I've got laptop from my father, but I still keep continue writing in diary. Then, I tempted by blogging, it's the coolest things in my era hehe
The template concept so blinded me, I spent an hours for personalize my blog, searching the cute template, cute background, cute application, cute pointer icon etc. Also, I spent more time only for editing, I just want to ensure the readers feel comfortable with the visual of my blog. I personalize blog almost every week.Beside that, I can enclose picture, video or link of my favorite site and another blog in my post. It's so easy than cutting the magazine and rewrite the lyric into diary. So amazing.
I rarely writing directly, I mean I'd prefer to writing before then copy to my post (to-be). It's saving time. That's why sometimes I posted more than 1 post in 1 day.
I kept writing diary until early of my college life, allthougth sometimes I need to force myself for keep that habit. Since I had a lot of task which make me busy, I writing in digital media. Not because writing diary manually so yesterday, but because I can writing during doing my task. Because I will share it into public , I choose posting the in general theme only, the private things never fit to share
After graduated, I've been working in International company which produce sporty shoes. In that company I used to communicated by English language, because my job related with foreigner. I had learn how to make a good communication by mail, and for gain my skill in English I decided for practicing in the way I'd like, so I started make post in English. Still amateur. And I hope would be better later.
I used a notebook as diary, it's very helpfull for tracking our job. For the first time I used it for writing the planning, I usually used it for resume my activity in a whole day before. One day , my boss gave a diary for all staff of our department. He want us us writing a planning for 1 day in the morning and checked before left by ourself. It's very good if we can do our job as planned, but if we cant do our job as planned, he will asking about our responsibility 'how could you cant handle the job that you planned?' and it will end by reporting and replaned that job tomorrow.
When I read my old diaries and old post in my blog. I realize I was changed, in another way I was developed. From the language or the of my writing style, I can see the different, let say it metamorphoself. I was started writing by 'cupu' style when I'm in elementary school, transform into 'teenager' style which known as 'aL4y' style (I feel so cool in that era), transform into 'mahasiswi' style which shown how I life, then transform into 'worker' style which how I need to used English in daily life, and now 'jobless' style which make me more productive :)
The most important things are, I'm in on progress to be a better writer.
My best friend's weddings are so close, we are preparing to attend their weddings. Fahria will be married on September 12th night at Jakarta and Mazia will be married on September 13th morning at Yogyakarta. Could we attend their weddings? It is 2 different places in 2 days. Yes. Is it too mainstream? Nope.
So, because leaving my office for a couple of days will make my boss crazy and will give fire puke to my friend. I decided to resign. Why? Because I’m not satisfied with my job. I’ve got sick almost every month in a way I couldn't describe. After thinking a couple times I realized that my friend's wedding was very teasing and I don't want to miss it.
After a cyber meeting (via Line Apps) we decided to attend their weddings, not everyone will attend Fahria’s, and not everyone will attend Mazia’s. Also, we decided on a gift for them just by photo. Maya is responsible for collecting money from us. Hani is responsible for choosing, buying, wrapping, and carrying the gift until the wedding day. Pici and Icunk will take responsibility for booking and buying train tickets to Yogyakarta, including vacation destinations after Mazia’s. Ana will open her house for us. How about me? I’m busy with resigning things hehe.
For the Bandung area, we will go to Jakarta after the Friday prayer. Except for Pici and Icunk, they decided to join the groom's bus to Jakarta. It’s kind of a funny thing, how could the bride's friend join with the groom's family without knowing each other, a little awkward maybe hehe Anyway... See you soon there.
A week before Fahria sent me uniform material. But, 1 day before the date, the tailor isn't sewing it yet. Off course I'm disappointed and getting angry, I ask him to finish it tomorrow no matter will happen. I went to the tailor after finished saying goodbye to my ex-officemate and need to wait until 10 AM.
I went to Bandung by bus and meet Ami at Setiabudhi Street. Then, we pick up Nurma at Leuwi Panjang station, she is late because the bus driver had a Friday prayer before. Then, we pick up Hadin and Abink (Hani's husband) at UIN. We are agree to meet Fira and her new boyfriend whom (we) called Ariel NOAH at the rest area. Sstttt... Actually, he is not like Ariel NOAH identically, but there is something on his face that will remind us of Ariel NOAH.
We really went to Jakarta at 03.30 PM and face terrific traffic on the way to Jakarta, we’re worried so much... We changed our dress and veil in the fastest way and also had makeup on the road. As our prediction, we came late to Fahria’s. Time is over... Because we were so late, we had dinner with the bride and groom's family. We do...
Pici, Icunk, Maya, and Caca already left to print the ticket at Senen Station one hour before. So, me and Hany must catch the train at 11 PM and we left Fahria’s at 10 PM in a rush. Oohhh... thank you so much GPS, you made us find the right path.
We arrived at Senen Station on time, very on time, at the last minute of train departure. Pici and Maya waiting for us in front of the gate to bring gifts for Mazia. We ran onto the train with our bag and dress... We had separated seats, Vici, Maya, Hany, and Caca had group seats, me and Icunk in different rows. I don't have time for changing my dress and the situation is very difficult to change in the train washroom, in this kind of situation I prefer not to change my dress and consider wearing ‘daster’ for sleeping on the train.
We used Economics class for saving money and time. The best thing in Economic class is electricity, we can charge our cell phones. So far so good...
We arrived at Yogyakarta at 07 AM, then went to a hotel in front of the wedding hall which was booked by Mazia. Off course we missed the wedding ceremony (again) at 07 AM. The first thing we do after getting the room is breakfast. Trust me, sitting on a train seat for a long time without eating snacks and needing more sleep makes me hungry, very hungry...
We went to Mazia’s at 10 AM, even though the wedding hall is in front of the hotel, we must cross the protocol street in our dresses, high heels, and gift. Everyone in the street is watching us. We met Ana and Acong in the lobby, and they took responsibility for the gift keeper. As we know, hungry could continue, we spent a minute later for tried every menu while waiting to shake hands in the queue. Just because we tried almost every menu doesn't mean we are full.
I rarely use high heels because I didn't like the feeling when I wear them, my foot is always tired, itchy, and became red. During Mazia's wedding, I accidentally broke my high heels strap when trying to make it more comfortable on my feet. So, I didn't have any choice except to walk barefoot towards the hotel and bring my high heels in my hand.
We repacked our bags and check out from the hotel for a stay in Ana's house at Kauman, we use Trans Yogya to go there. I didn't know what is going on with the driver, but for me, he drove a little bit rocky, not smoothly as he should be. Finally, we arrived safely at Ana's house and unpacked our bag, and run towards Malioboro Street.
Then, we spent the rest of the day walking around Malioboro Street, looking for cool things we couldn't find in Bandung and taking pictures randomly. We also visit Mirota Batik (as always), I brought a dupa and Keraton logo sticker for my mom and marked a cute pillow case for my home. I have a plan to buy it before going home soon, later did I know... I regret this.
Ana, Icunk, Caca, and Hany left first, then Pici, Maya, and I spent more time for drink Wedang and eating Sate near Bringharjo market. We talked a lot about my... I-don't-know-how-I-describe-it, let's say... my friend circle that seems hard to move on from his previous relationshit. Yes, I talk about that friend who always stays with his annoying circle.
For me, it is really annoying if there is someone whose have an interest in our ex-boyfriend but always keeps mentioning our name as a reason to engage. Like... don't you have interesting things to offer beside sell our name to jump into, not to mention, but her aggressive act made us raise our eyebrow... However, we agree that not interacting with them (including my friend) is too annoying.
Our plan tomorrow is to visit Gunung Api Purba Nglanggeran, Sri Gethuk Waterfall, and the beach (anywhere) in that area. Wish our trip going well...
We went in the morning by rent car and I'm the only one who decided to leave without taking a shower.
GUNUNG API PURBA NGLANGGERAN
Our first destination is Gunung Api Purba Nglanggeran, I didn't know the details yet because Pici and Ana already handle our trip very well. So, please... don't ask me the details, just Googling by yourself.
It takes more than 1 hour of walking (and a little bit of climbing) from the ticketing stand to the peak of Gunung Api Purba Nglanggeran. There are 5 points between, and at each point, there is a hut that we can use when are tired. Be careful with yourself and your belonging, you may meet a hungry monkey near the garbage whose love to jump around the branch of the trees above.
We left Acong and Hany at 1st point because they do not want to climb. Pici, Maya, Chacha, Icunk, and I continue to climb to the peak. We must climb on the small way with rock and dust, use the emergency ladder which is made from a branch of the tree, enter the small tunnel which fits only 1 body (in medium size) and share (limited) water together because feel too heavy for carrying 1 big bottle of water. Our bodies are tired and dirty, especially our feet. That showed enough we rarely do some sport activity. Also, mentally we’re not ready for this heavy track.
There are some direction boards on the way to the peak of Gunung Api Purba Nglanggeran. One of them shows the direction to the water source which not allowed women on her period to enter that area. After reed that warning we’re surprised by another direction board. It told, “Sell Dawet”. OMG, there are Dawet aka Cendol seller here. I thought they had a good market strategy, selling drinks to people which tired and thirsty after climbing would make a good profit.
Icunk almost lost her chance to reach the peak of Gunung Api Purba Nglanggeran. Actually, she only needs to climb the ladder to reach the peak, but she isn't confident with her weight and lets us climb. How hard we tried for makes her climb, but she prefer for waiting for us. So, we left her. When we were busy to took a picture, she came up. Haha... finally she climbs the ladder while no one sees.
From the information that we’ve got, we could see a lake on the peak. In reality, there is nothing on the peak, only rock, and sun. How about the lake? Yes, we can see it, this peak is only a spot for looking at the lake from the top, not the lake on the peak. Disappointed? Yes!! Then, as usual we spent the noon with took a picture, it’s better than having nothing hehe
However, we would like to thank you for Tongsis inventor "Your invention makes our moment so perfect Sir” *raise hat
SRI GETHUK WATERFALL
Our next destination is Sri Gethuk Waterfall. I really don't know exactly where it is. Please understand, I slept in the car after a tired climb at the peak of Gunung Api Purba Nglanggeran in a hungry condition. That makes sense right? I woke up a minute before arrived.
We decided to have lunch before playing in the water, yes playing, at that time we still didn't know yet about this waterfall or outdoor activity package. The management of this place prepared a hut, washroom, and musholla, not many but very helpful for visitors who want to take a rest or pray.
We took a body rafting package and got 1 guide, I don't know his name, but he is very kind and took many pictures of us. To reach the waterfall, we must ride the boat, not really a boat, a kind of artificial boat, made from barrel tin and have a seat such as angkot. There are many (mini) waterfall (including rainbow), and most of them aren't really high but has swift water. Watch your step!! Mossy rocks are everywhere, and it has a sharp shape that can hurt your foot.
The last waterfall is the highest and calmest, maybe because it’s far from another waterfall less interesting to see. I thought it was the bathing place for the angel who visited Earth hehe I say so because the rock cut off very well and was hidden in the corner. The only solution for coming back are to swim, actually, we can climb back, but it’s too tiring and we want to get wet hehe
While we swim into the border, we’d seen some people jump into the water. I took a long time before jumping, the hardest part are my readiness of myself when throw myself into the water. I just worried if there is any crocodile or snake or whatever awaited me such as in the movie I’ve seen. Or how if I couldn't get from the water. Or what if I bleed because of hitting the wall. Or how if I... how if I... If I... I... yeah you know what I meant... it’s when done. Congratulations!!!!
We went back by boat, but before reaching the deck Acong, Caca, Maya, Pici, and I decide to swim near the boat, just to make good memories. We change our clothes without taking a shower and took our stuff at the ticketing locket before leaving. As I told you before hungry continues, even in the car we’re busy searching the snack, and only Makaroni Pedas dan Emplod Pedas (the newest item) from Pici online shop can understand us.
BARON BEACH
Because we came late, the guide of ticketing gave us a discount? We don't have many times there only took a picture (in a rush). We’re very excited for captured moment until forget the sunset things. Actually, we can’t see the sunset, it hid behind the hill. But we don't care!! The most important things are (even though we’re late) we visited 3 places in 1 day and checked in by Path hehe
We left the beach after maghrib, sleeping directly after sitting in the car. I woke up when we pass Bintang Hill, what we’ve seen later are so awesome. The light of Yogyakarta spread beautifully... then I slept (again). We arrived at Kauman after Isya, after dinner. I force myself to take a bath before sleep. As I mentioned before, the content of Sri Gethuk waterfall is moss and everything that I don't want to know. Eewww...
***
In the morning we have different activities and plan to do
Ana - She attends her 1st day of S2 life
Acong - She went to Yogyakarta Zoo for the last day internship
Caca and Maya - train departure at 03.00 PM (Lempuyangan) they stay at Ana’s stay and pack stuff
Pici - train departure on 02.00 PM (Lempuyangan) she finally went to Purwokerto to attend her boyfriend's graduation. Actually, she was confused choose the transportation that fit her will, then we forced her to take the train because it more saving time and we could go to the station together
Icunk - train departure on 02.00 PM (Lempuyangan) she went to Bringharjo market to buy cashew
Hany - train departure on 03.00 PM (Lempuyangan) she plans to go to Bringharjo market for... I don't know hehe
Me - train departure on 10.10 PM (Tugu) went to Bringharjo market for window shopping and buying pillow case + curtain at Mirota
In the Bringharjo market, I bought 1 pack of Emping Manis only not interested in other things. In Mirota I was very disappointed when knew the pillow case that I (really) wanted sold out. At that time I’m very stressed because I only buy stuff I liked and I wouldn't buy it if I don't like it. But (again), I promised Mom to buy a pillowcase, so... I bought it.
Actually, it has the same design with different colors, I like the white version but bought the cream version. Maybe some people thought is not a big deal, white or cream. But for me as a designer that is a big deal, color difference, correct pattern, perfect sewing margin, and other things applied to the product are so important. I spent more than 15 minutes checking every pillow case detail! I regret not buying it before...
Ana arrived before Hany, Caca, Maya, Icunk and Pici left. They rent a car for going to the train station. So, only Ana and I were left in the house. Nothing to do the rest of the day, we fall asleep after gossiping about many things about Mile. Ana accompany me to the train station at the night, I waited to train almost for 1 hour and feel lonely hehe
I can't sleep tight, just because I’m alone. I arrived at Bandung train station at 07 AM and decided to go back home directly. Reality waiting for me there...
Sebelum berangkat ke Lampung saya nggak pernah benar-benar mencari tahu dengan serius tentang Pulau Kiluan, hanya sebatas membaca di blog. Di bis Ica sempat cerita tentang asal usul Pulau Kiluan, menurut info yang dia dapatkan: Kiluan berarti permintaan, konon di masa lalu ada orang sakti yang meminta dikuburkan di pulau itu.
Untuk mempermudah perjalanan kita sepakat menyewa mobil Colt bertudung (yang biasanya dipake satpol PP) untuk antar jemput. Jadilah kita mesti rela kembali ke posisi semula dengan formasi awal di mobilnya Ucup orang-barang-orang-barang-orang-barang-orang-barang-orang. Sayangnya, orang mesti mengalah karena barang bawaannya kelewat banyak, beberapa dari kita duduk di dekat pintu masuk, kaki tak sampai... melambai-lambai sepanjang garis pantai.
Mamet dan Rey memilih untuk duduk diatas mobil. Mengambil alih petualangan.
Matahari Lampung sukses bikin kita sauna |
Semakin lama semakin resah, semakin dalam semakin gelisah, rumah-rumah berjajar, ternak bertebaran, ladang melandai. Tetangga yang berumpun, berjemur dan berkipas-kipas. melihat mobil kami seakan perhatian yang biasa, cukup diamati. Ada anak-anak pulang sekolah, beriringan tapi sepi sendiri-sendiri. Girang disapa kami. Pemandangan yang tak biasa: bukit-bukit palawija, tanah kering hampir tandus, tambak garam semuanya. persis seperti mimpi-mimpi saya sebelumnya tentang indonesia dengan filter vintage.
5 menit yang begitu sebentar
Di perjalanan menuju Pulau Kiluan kita bosan-sebosannya, udah mulai berhalusinasi jajan minuman berasa berwarna dan berembun. Sayangnya, kita nggak menemukan ada toko kelontong atau warung kecil yang bisa disinggahi. Ratum yang Arif angkat bicara "gue yakin disini gak ada Alfamart" meski kita faham bahwa itu hanyalah ungkapan kesusotoyan, terbersit harapan Alfamart benar-benar ekspansi sampai sini. Toh bahkan di puncak Parongpong pun ada Alfamart.
Eits, sebentar...
1 menit
2 menit
3 menit
4 menit
5 menit
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Taa... Daa...
Kali ini @inforatum mesti legowo ditampar semesta bahwa 5 menit setelah mengemukakan statement, kita (akhirnya) menemukan Alfamart. Kebahagiaan yang sungguh tak terperi karena selain mendapatkan minuman berasa, berwarna dan berembun kita bisa ngeceng-cengin Ratum sampai puas.
Uji coba lensa photochromic, nggak terlalu bagus, nggak akan pake lagi •́ ‿ ,•̀ |
Absen dulu ya... Pepi, Uus, Mamet, Rey, Daniel, Ican, Ica, Edo, Boceng, Jajang, Ratum, Ono, saya. Yang fotoin kita: Wisnu. |
Mendorong perahu nggak ada apa-apanya dibanding jadi Sangkuriang |
Pergi ke Pulau Kiluan seperti pergi ke bulan, dari jauh terlihat mulus berliku-liku naik turun mirip lagu, kenyataannya cacat berlubang dan berkelok-kelok sepanjang jalan, sampai di tujuan. Sampai di bibir pantai, ada jeda untuk mendorong perahu sampai lepas karena laut belum pasang. Saat di perahu saya melihat segunduk daratan di tengah laut, dilihat dari jauh ibarat sekepalan tangan.
Kita segera memasang tenda karena udah menjelang sore, 1 tenda terpasang kokoh dan 1 tenda terpantau runtuh. Dari sekantung telur yang ditanam di dalam beras, hanya 30% yang berhasil diselamatkan, sisanya melebur dalam butiran beras. Perjuangan sekali mengambil sisa martir yang selamat diantara rekan-rekannya yang gugur. Untungnya chef Boceng mampu menyulapnya menjadi makan malam.
Kamp pengungsian :) |
Malam itu udaranya lumayan hangat, jadi sebagian peserta tour memutuskan untuk tidur diluar tenda. Lengkap dengan gonjrang gonjreng nggak jelas sambil chit chat nggak penting. Bangun tidur saya langsung standby di pinggir pantai, jalan kesana kemari padahal masih pagi. Eh, ini pagi pertama di pulau Kiluan...
Yang pertama nyemplung ke laut adalah Ratum, beliau mau ngecek safety pantai, apakah ada Bulu Babi atau Hiu. Rencana kita untuk melihat lumba-lumba mesti pupus karena harganya yang nggak masuk budget. Sebagai mahasiswa tingkat akhir rasanya agak kurang bijak, sebab TA butuh biaya haha Sambil menunggu Ratum screening kita duduk-duduk galau di pinggir pantai, lapar... Ingin makan belum ada yang inisiatif masak. Mau bikin, males juga bikinnya, yaudahlah pasrah aja ngemil.
Sadar akan basah-basahan, nggak ada satu pun dari kita yang mandi, langsung nyebur haha Peralatan snorkling-nya kita sewa ke bapak yang menjaga pulau.
Sekilas info (yang bukan dari @inforatum)
Di pulau Kiluan, tinggal sepasang suami istri pemilik pulau, tinggal bertiga bukan dengan anaknya, melainkan dengan anggota TNI yang berdinas. Sehari-hari mereka menyewakan kamar, tempat untuk berkemah, peralatan berkemah, peralatan snorkling dan lain-lain. WC dan tempat mandi sudah termasuk fasilitas :) Mereka menyediakan supply makanan seperti air mineral, mie instan, kopi dan lain-lain yang membuat kita aman.
Untuk sinyal HP masih perlu rebutan, kalau ingin mendapatan sinyal mesti stay di dekat tiang pemancar. Terimakasih Telkomsel, karenamu kita bisa mengabari orang tua di rumah.
Awal-awal nyelup, masih rapi. |
Efek tembem ini dipersembahkan oleh kerudung yang udah nggak pada tempatnya. |
Udah mulai kepanasan, tapi masih keukeuh ingin di air. |
Kita yang sikut-sikutan demi bisa masuk frame, nggak ada yang bener mukanya~ |
Kita menemukan banyak bintang laut biru, ketika di dalam air mereka lunak, ketika di udara mereka mengeras. |
Lebih lebar ketimbang mukaku. |
Putra duyung. |
Awalnya, hanya jalan-jalan di pinggir pantai. ada ombak, mulai mencelup kaki ditabrak-tabrak. Lalu lalu lalu lalu... apalagi? Kita sibuk. Sibuk sekali. Nggak peduli dengan panas yang menyengat dan bisa bikin burik. Nggak peduli dengan air laut yang gurih rasa kuah Indomie saat tertelan. Nggak peduli dengan penampilan meski yakin perlu retake saat difoto. Kita menghabiskan setengah hari untuk bermain di laut, melupakan fakta bahwa sebenarnya kita sedang tanning terselubung.
Harusnya kita pulang di sorenya, tapi Kiluan terlalu jauh untuk kami datangi lagi, maka dengan senangnya kita putuskan untuk tinggal sampai besok. Ada nikmat yang perlu disesap saat ini. Sisa hari kami habiskan dengan berjalan-jalan mengelilingi pulau yang ternyata nggak luas-luas banget. Malamnya datang 2 turis Rusia yang makan sarden langsung dari kalengnya.
Badan udah lengket tapi masih belum ingin mandi |
Nggak ada yang main disini karena tebingnya curam dan ombaknya besar. |
Mencari kerang karena gabut |
Alhamdulillah akhirnya mandi. Saya pake legging-nya Jajang, malu pakenya karena berbunga-bunga. |
Sunset-nya beda angle. |
Besoknya, kita beres-beres kilat karena perjalanan masih panjang huhu Sedih banget meninggalkan Pulau Kiluan, sedih banget kembali melewati jalan yang rusak, sedih banget memikirkan TA-ku nanti. Untuk mempersingkat waktu kita pulang ke Bandung pake bis dan diturunkan di depan kampus, kocak sekali ya udah kaya mau ekskursi.
Pulau Kiluan masih bermain-main dipikiran.
Terima kasih Ican udah mewakili kita yang nggak berniat move on dari Pulau Kiluan, galaunya dapet :) |
Isi otak seminggu kemudian~ Nikmat banget kan |
I got my first job after graduating from college, I was accepted as development staff in a footwear factory. I interviewed for my company to be, an unfinished area that
would be the largest industry in my province. Actually, at that time they wanted to put
me in the General Affair department, but I was rejected because it did not match my major as a Product Designer. So I asked for another department that, at least matches my major. Fortunately, they have... for the Development department.
Because of that, I need to have a second interview with my boss, they called me at 10.30 PM
for the interview schedule.
After the interview, I need to take a medical check-up. The
hospital is very far away from my town, I said that because it is near another town on the way to Jakarta. I went to the hospital and was disappointed. The electricity
is off because they (the electricity company) need to fix one tower in front of the
hospital, it took time until 5 pm. I have all the medical check-ups but need to
wait for an X-ray check until more than 5 pm. So good... So Nice...
When I gave a medical check-up report to my company, I
asked to staff there about my first day working.
A: When I will start working? I mean the date...
Q: Just wait for my phone call
Day after day, no one called me, I thought they
canceled or forgot to make a phone call. One fine day, I watched Running
Man until 3 am, and I late woke up at 9 am. I’ve got a phone call from
I-don’t-know-who.
Q: Why you don't come?
A: What? (are you talking about)
Q: It is your first day working in our company
A: I don't know, he told will call me
Q: Could you come here
A: OK, I’ll be there soon
He is from my company to be, partner to be, friend to be,
maybe. I took a bath quickly and called my father to drop me off. I feel in slow-motion mode when we’re trapped in the parade
(Subang anniversary). We just can follow one direction, because no way out
here. I arrived in perfect timing, yes perfect timing, I arrived when the
employee was ready to go for lunch. So, the first thing I do in that company is not to introduce myself to other employees or sit in my seat. I started my first
day with lunch.
After lunch the assistant manager introduced me to all the employees in our office, I shook every hand and tried to remember their names one
by one. Besides that, I’ve got some greetings like ‘Welcome to our company’,
‘Welcome to the jungle’, ‘Have good work’ etc. I spent the rest of the day with my boss talking about our
job in the development department. Globally, our company makes shoes and to make shoes we need people who understand the process. That’s why our
department is very important because without us they wouldn't know what should
they do.
At that time my English was very bad, I just said ‘yes’
and other short sentences. After I worked there, I have a little improvement in my English, at least I can write an e-mail and speak more than 2-3
sentences in English. Our company belongs to a foreigner, still Asian. But,
of course, we need to talk in English because they don't talk in our language
and we don't talk in their language. Even sometimes there is miscommunication between us, especially with dialect, need more time to understand that.
I worked for almost 1 year and I feel bored, I’m very thankful that I can learn so many things in the footwear industry. Then, I think about myself,
even if they say our company is a big company with a bright future. But, there is
something that I can't deal with it. I feel like minions hehe... too much
unsatisfied can kill my mind. I’d spent more than 1 year working there. Until someone (you – don’t –
need – to – know) told me that high school graduates can do my job. At that
time, I hate him. I hate him because he is right. So? If high school graduates can do
that job, why did he hire S1 graduates?
Cheap salary!
I worked for almost 1,5 years and am ready to resign. I resigned yesterday. So, I’m resigner. That’s the important news for this week. Because
I’m sick, almost every month I go to the doctor. My friends gave me a lot of
advice, however, they tried to stop me, so I decided to go.
I have good friends, a good job, and other good things. And I am very thankful for...
- all my friends who taught me very well
- all my friends who supported me at work
- all my friends who tried to cancel my decision
- all my friends who cried for me on the day I left
- all my friends who missed me until now
Because I’m officially resigning now, I need to find a job
that is fit for me. My dream job is...
- not wearing a uniform
I rarely bought new clothes
and screw up when can’t find the perfect match in my closet
- not wearing the same bag
That makes me feel in
Playgroup
- no need for loyalty
come on... I work for money, if you want loyalty get a dog
- 5 days work
I hope I’ll say TGIF
- healthy work environment
I wish...
